Kimora Lee Simmons Is Returning ‘Back To The Fab Lane’ With Newly Revived Reality Show
One of fashion’s biggest “it girls” is returning to the reality TV world.
Kimora Lee Simmons — model, entrepreneur, and founder of Baby Phat — is bringing her fans back into her glamorous world by way of Kimora: Back In The Fab Lane. It has been over a decade since her original hit E! series Kimora: Life In The Fab Lane ended, making the new iteration a highly anticipated project that will document her lifestyle changes since she was last featured on air.
Set to premiere in December 2025, the release will be an upgraded version of the beloved 2000s series, where she showed the realities of juggling her career, family, and staying true to her signature fabulous lifestyle.

“The show will follow the now single mom of five as she commands a billion-dollar empire while running her iconic Baby Phat brand,” reads the description. “Between dealing with the whims of her top-model daughters Ming, 25, and Aoki, 22, cheering on her 13-year-old son Kenzo and 15-year-old son Gary during championship games and celebrating her own major milestones with her youngest Wolfe, 10, Kimora’s world is even more fabulous and outrageous than ever before.”
Kimora Lee Simmons began modeling for Chanel and working under the tutelage of Chanel’s then designer, the late Karl Lagerfeld, at just 13 years old. She went on to achieve success in the high fashion modeling world, walking for brands like Fendi, Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro, and Yves Saint Laurent and being featured on the covers of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

In 1999, she launched Baby Phat, an off-shoot of the men’s streetwear line Phat Farm. The trendsetting label achieved cultural and monetary success, and at one point was estimated to be worth over $1 billion. She revived the brand in 2019.
The St. Louis native was married to Russell Simmons from 1998-2009 and got remarried to Tim Leissner in 2014. The 50-year-old has five kids: sons Kenzo, Gary, and Wolfe, plus daughters Aoki and Ming. Watch a trailer from the original Kimora series above.
